Key legal question
Is the administrative law appeal admissible against the cantonal judgment refusing a residence permit and denying a hardship exception?
Extracted holding
No. Because the applicant has no enforceable right to the residence permit, the administrative law appeal is unavailable even if the authority examined hardship under the quota regulations.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on its prior decision in the same matter and on settled case law that only independent federal decisions on exceptions to the quota restrictions are directly challengeable; a cantonal permit decision remains outside the scope of Art. 100(1)(b) no. 3 OG when no entitlement exists.
